Dr. Allan Jacob
Chairman SafePac, Florida

“We have used UpVote for several years in statewide, state senate, state house, countywide and municipal elections. Our preferred candidates almost always win because our turnout is so high. There is no more powerful tool available to achieve record turnout. In some off year elections we triple the general turnout. Our volunteers find Its format easy to master. UpVote’s “friend to friend” contact methodology guarantees that an entire community is engaged on the issues and candidates. The powerful texting tool with texts coming from your friends leads to universal opening and a high response rate. Nothing produces turnout more than voters knowing that friends in their community know whether or not they voted. The impact of social pressure created by UpVote is unmatched and for us essential in punching way above our weight.”

Jessica Haller

Yair R.
Campaign Manager for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu

“Now that the campaign’s wrapped up, I just have to say a big thanks to the UpVote crew. The system was not only easy to use and reliable, but it also gave us an edge in managing everything so smoothly. I’ve seen campaigns before without this kind of tech, and I can tell you, UpVote’s impact, especially when it mattered most on Election Day, was huge. And a shoutout to their support team – those guys were always there when we needed them, ready with advice and help.”
